Note regarding disposal of old batteries

The following note is intended for anyone who uses batteries, or products with inbuilt batteries, and who does not resell them in their delivered form (end users):

1. Free collection of old batteries

Batteries may not be disposed of in household waste. You are legally obligated to return old batteries so that appropriate disposal can be guaranteed. You can dispose of old batteries at a communal collection point or at a local dealer. We, as a distributor of batteries, are obligated to accept the return of old batteries, whereby our obligation to take back old batteries is limited to those which we carry as new batteries in our range, or have carried in the past. Old batteries of the aforementioned types can be returned to us, either by postal mail with sufficient postage or by being given directly to us at our warehouse (no charge) at the following address:

Nagel-Zude GmbH & Co. KG
Werkstraße 6
21706 Drochtersen

2. Meaning of the battery symbols

Batteries are marked with a symbol showing a crossed out waste bin (s.b.). This symbol indicates that batteries may not be thrown in household waste. On batteries which have more than 0.0005 percent by weight of mercury, more than 0.002 percent by weight of cadmium or more than 0.004 percent by weight of lead, under the garbage can symbol can be found the chemical symbol of each respective pollutant – "Cd" stands for cadmium, "Pb" stands for lead and "Hg" stands for mercury.
